Credit memo Doubt

[Former Member]

Hi,

can I create a credit memo against an Invoice which is in error status due to some accounting issues. Basically the accounting is not yet hit and if I create a credit memo agianst the Invoice then it will hit accounting so wouldnt it create discripancy?

Hi Christino,

This is not usual practice, because in a long time running productive system all SD invoice are usually automatically booked against FI without problems.

On the other hand, I believe there should be any problem, because each SD invoice has it's accounting life and they are not related.

I guess you can't cancel the SD invoice, change the Sales Order pricing and invoice again?

Instead of sending a credit memo to your customer, you would just send him the invoice cancellation and a new invoice => Cleaner process IMHO.

Best Regards,
